I'm Back

Ok so I am back from my holiday and I have heaps of pictures(most on fb) but I am still not quite in the modd to blog about it yet....in short I am LAZY to blog! The house is all done up now...lights outside and the tree and walls on the inside..those pics should be up soon too. Bro heads home tonight, and baking starts tomorrow...so lets just see if I ever get around to blogging.I hope I do, quite a bit to share.

As usual I have been absent for a while now...It's hard to believe, but my two weeks home for holidays thus far has been a roller coaster ride...so many up's and down's, more downs! its quite depressing I have to say, so not what I expected coming home. Its like bad news after bad news from some family member or other....but no matter what I still say we are blessed,things could be worse! Hanging out with friends yesterday was definately refreshing and heaps of fun.But looking foward to when my whole family is together, thats going to be awesome! Christmas is going to be good no matter what! And talking about christmas, my mum and I spent the day today working on christmas cards. We made handmade cards for our immediate family, friends got shop ones. Here are the ones we made, it all happened because its so hard to get personalized cards nowdays which are nice and meaningful.

All together now... I actually coloured each manger scence individually, the writting is printed and my mum just aded a quick note at the bottom. Hope they like the cards!

Promise to be back with a more colourful and picture filled post soon!

long overdue last post about mid-sem break

Ok so folks this is the last post on my mid-sem break. On the week-end before the sem started we headed of to the beach at Surfers Paradise over at Gold Coast. The weather was pleasent,the water was awesome and the company fun. It was all in all a great day.

Meeting point.. can you believe this is 7.30 in the morning? looks like middle of the day right?

Surfers!

First thing you have to do once you get to the beach ,the split fingers pose!

Then comes all the other nice bright sunny pics! The beach is an awesome place to take pictures, the effect of the openess and the sun light is nice.

Before going in for a dip, beach games! and we were playing serious ball ok ....

Team strategizing on how to get the enemy down and all

In the end we couldnt control one of our team members as she went off running after some cute guy in boardshorts...

The guys on the other hand played beach cricket

Well there are no pictures of us in the water because none of us have waterproof cameras...hehehe...

First thing after the beach, LUNCH!

Then we hit the streets of Surfers. And of course we had to do the whole touristy stop and pose and click.

Japanese guy playing the didgederoo,really good at that too

Guys enjoy posing too

I love mirror shots



See what I mean by tourist shots

Random, caught of guard

Mandatory group picture

Somewhere inbetween walking around absorbing Surfers lifestyle, we stopped for bowling Those Ronald Mcdonald bowling shoes

My oh so unflattering gorilla style

And we bid Surfers goodbye as the sun set

It was no doubt a tiring day but it was so fun, nice hot bathe and a panadol, and a most peaceful rested night of sleep followed.

Sayed's Brithday

On the same day, after the Zoo trip..it was straight home, shower got ready and off to sayed's Brithday part..

Group pics...but not with everyone at the party

Zman has to play dress up..funny as ever

Cake cutting

Cake eating

We played charades and stuff..bit I didnt have my camera with me so no pics,these are pictures friends took. The party then adjourned to the nearby cinema for late night session of Eagle Eye. What I thought of the movie is another story.......

Australia Zoo

Okay looks like I need to get a move on withthe semester break entries because I am backing up on posts. Well the Semester break week actually started of with a trip to Australia Zoo with Unidome....

Cute little kid who joined us

Don't ask
I think he and the rest of them felt right at home....

Such an obscene thing See what I mean....

The Show ...my favourite part of the zoo trip...

The Famous Crocoseum

The birds knew exactly where to fly in and whereto fly out..amazing ..some of them flew in unison and did shapes in the air


Amazing huge as ever bird


Snakes, so not my thing


Crikey!


Steve Irwins creation...waterway from he crocs pool into the crocoseum..they dont have to lift the croc out..it just swims out on its own..how cool

The Animals
At first glance their head were not sticking out I thought they were rocks!
Cute or not!
Those people paid quite a bit to be able to do this


Good all Aussie koala's ..
My personal favourite..cute little piggies at the kids petting zoo

There were heaps of other animals too... dingoes,foxes,tasmanian devil,ducks,tortoise,sheep, kangaroo's and etc.

We were tired towars the end so we just hopped on one of those slow train things back to the main enterance.
All smiles after the visit

Tired Zoo visitors
